    I don’t trust Nurk passing but regardless, it’s not in this teams DNA.

    What do you mean? That was one of the greatest line drive 33 degree backboard skip passes I have ever seen...

    A large factor in this game is that the Ref awarded 16 more FT to OKC than to the Blazers, and negated Blazer baskets on incorrect charging calls that were instead blocks. The Blazer started this game clearly stronger, gained a lead, led by 5 at halftime, and reestablished a 4th Q lead. But the Refs made sure that OKC had enough change the game calls to win. Let's leave the corrupt refs behind and win in Denver on Fri!

    I guess we lost because the league has told the refs to "make sure Portland loses games" This FUCKING place!!!!!

    Jerami's game is predicated on getting to the line. It's a doubled edged sword.

    Touches help. Grant was 7-14. Our backcourt was 10-30. I've seen this movie before....for almost a decade now. When our guards are stone cold, but someone else is making shots, they rarely get the ball to the guy who is shooting much MUCH better. Instead, they continue to jack it up to the detriment of the 'team'. Watched Dame/CJ do it for years, and now sadly am seeing version 2.0 do the same thing.

    I've seen a lot of comments on how bad our bench was, but outside Winslow (who has never been able to shoot) our bench was, 11-16...69%. Dame/Ant shot 33%. The rest of the team shot 59%. Yet the guys who couldn't hit the broadside took almost 40% of the shots.....and guess which group was playing defense?

    Dear Diary,
    Didn't watch the game and didn't read the thread.

    Just thought everyone would like to know. You're welcome!

    The charging calls were pretty iffy, but I think OKC was more aggressive attacking the basket, as they have been all season.

    Do you see a pattern here?
